What is Patience?
        PA'TIENCE
     With God, patience is a form of his infinite love which causes him to bear long with sinners, Isa 30:18; Rom 3:25; 2 Pet 3:9, and to send them warnings of judgments before the judgments are executed. Hos 6:5; Am 1:1; 2 Pet 2:5, With man, patience is a grace enabling him to bear with meekness and confidence the trials which God sends him, Rom 2:7; 2 Tim 3:10, and to deal with his fellow-men with love and forbearance. 1 Thess 5:14. In many passages of our English Version where "patience" occurs, "endurance" or " constancy " would be a better rendering of the Greek (???).
